I stuck not only the Harrier emblem on my RX300, but I have Toyota Camry center caps also. The latter one wasn't a styling point, it's the fact that the Lexus caps that I had on my RX300 would crack and fall off when I was in Mexico. Not cheap and also not readily available down there where there is Toyota but no Lexus.
In addition, I went with a badgeless rear, no L, no Lexus and no RX300.

Kind of reminds me of those emblems that do nothing one may buy at AutoZone. Of course it's not "that" but has about as much purpose. I am assuming the OP wants to look like they own a newer car since the body and int. are the same so who would know?
Until it's at a mechanic and they look at vin and ask you what year the car was made. then look at you funny for your answer. Might seem harsh, but there is no other reason I can think of why some one would want to put a 350 emblem on a 330.
PS: The whole debadging and JDM rebadging thing is cool for some cars not so cool on others. I am a big JDM fan. But it's a very specific styling thing. I do not think it's the same as what the OP was thinking as I said already.

It's very popular "styling" in Lithuania too... Poor guys driving old and cheapest versions of BMW or Mercedes put "M", "AMG" or "Brabus" badges on their cars, change exhaust system (only those who can afford spending a bit extra") and... simply look funny.

Does the RX330 badge have holes behind them?

At the end of the day no harm no foul. If you want to do go ahead. It's not like the 350 cost more than the 330 when they were both brand new; it just had upgraded nav with a more HP.

Feel free to change the emblem; it's your car. But if you are going to go through all that trouble, why not change the emblem to SL550? Then you will really have something others will greatly envy.
